#2Yeah but you won't so it's not a big problem
We can't orchestrate our society around what someone "could" do
You could kill me with a rock easier than you could kill me with a drone

We absolutely can, we absolutely should, and we absolutely have been doing that.
When I get on a bus with other people, I can, with a fairly high degree of certainty, rest assured that the other passengers will not just randomly kill me to get something from me. That's because the people, just like me, have some level of comfort and their basic needs being met.
The further we slide away from that, the higher the risk for everyone. And to maintain that needs constant work, from everyone.

You both agree. What keeps someone from killing you on a bus is a combination of norms, morals and deterrence. The same apply to drone murder.
Norms and morals apply almost equally to murder by drone versus e.g. poisoning someone. The difference is largely in deterrence, i.e. having a clearly-communicated capability to find anyone who tries to pull this off.

I can run away from a knife holding psycho or fight back, a drone can fly into my bedroom. Same argument for guns really.

How about dropping a rock from a drone so it isn't up close and personal.

#10Society degrades from war. People that were in warfare shouldn't be allowed back into normal life. Even with a just war, like with Ukraine defending themselves from Russia, the soldiers coming back from the front are killing their wives.
I don't think there's a solution. I've worked on projects in the USA trying to predict behavior changes in veterans that lead to murder/suicide and it's just not possible.
Just try to avoid people that have been in warfare - don't hire them, don't date them, they're broken and can't be fixed.
